The process of Adjustment of Status is for immigrants that are physically present in the United States and are eligible to obtain permanent residency (Green Card).

The main requirements for Adjustment of Status are:

That the immigrant was admitted or paroled into the United States (there are very few exceptions to this rule);
That a Visa number is available;
That the immigrant was not convicted of a crime of moral turpitude (in this case, a Waiver may be filed);
That the petitioner meets the requirements for the Affidavit of Support;
That the applicant files Form I-485 with USCIS.
